* This position independent code switches between a kernel context and a
* user context and thereby between their address spaces. Due to the latter
* it must be mapped executable to the same region in every address space.
* To enable such switching, the kernel context must be stored within this
* region, thus one should map it solely accessable for privileged modes.
